Car And Vehicles Review- 10 Innovation Technology Best Car Engine (Part 1),Ford Model T was the first car that is really affordable. The car was released in 1908, is packed with 2,900 cc four-cylinder engine and only has 22 horsepower. The resulting force is obviously very small when compared with the engine used cars today. However, the power is greater when compared to the Benz Patent Motor wagen car made in 1885 the car only has a single cylinder with a 2/3 horsepower.
It is stated that since it was first created, the engine experienced a continuous evolution. And thanks to the refinement of the design and technology constant, the machines that exist today more powerful, efficient and environmentally friendly. As if no limits, automotive engineers continue to try and find ways to develop and refine. And here are the 10 Best Engines of Innovation Technology of all time:
1 Engine Four Steps
Four-stroke engine is the earliest improvements made in the late 1800s with a machine that is also called a four-stroke engine is a combustion engine in which combustion occurs in a four-step cycle which includes the step piston suction (intake), compression, power and exhaust steps. All of these steps occur when the piston moves up and down twice.
Pros: More fuel-efficient and lower pollution generated.
Disadvantages: More complex and more expensive to produce.
2 Forced Induction
System Forced Induction (forced induction) is used in aircraft engines long before finally used also in the car engine in the 1960s. The system is very helpful for small engines since it can produce more power without increasing its size.
An engine needs three things to produce motion: fuel, air and ignition. Forcing more air into the engine to increase the power generated by the piston. An old way which has become increasingly popular is to use forced induction, where the air is forced into the combustion chamber with a pressure higher than normal resulting in compression and more power. This process is better known by knowing the components that produced such Turbocharger and supercharger.
Pros: greater power without increasing engine size.
Disadvantages: Fuel consumption and turbo lag.
3 Fuel Injection
Since the late 1980s, almost the entire engine with a carburetor replaced by fuel injection (fuel injection), a system that is far more sophisticated and effective in the mixing process of fuel and air, where the entire process is controlled by the engine computer.
Pros: easy on-engine start, more responsive, and more efficient fuel consumption.
Disadvantages: More complex and more expensive repair costs.
4 Direct Injection
Direct injection (direct injection) is a further refinement of the Fuel Injection. As the name implies, Fuel Injection Direct Injection allows to skip a step that adds to the efficiency of the engine by adding power and fuel consumption savings.
On the Direct Injection engine, embedded computer on the machine to ensure proper fuel burned when needed, and reduce the waste of fuel needlessly. In some ways similar to making gasoline-powered engine with diesel engine always uses Direct Injection.
Pros: greater power with fuel management more efficient.
Disadvantages: More expensive to produce, and the technology is relatively new (not yet a standard).
5. Aluminum Engine Blocks
Over the last few years, the trend of car leads to lighter weight. Car manufacturers continue to seek ways to reduce vehicle weight in order to produce better performance with fuel consumption more efficient. One method used is to replace iron-based engine with aluminum.
But that does not mean the solution is not to bring other problems. Aluminum engine block is not as strong as iron engine block when faced with high working temperatures, and raises concerns about the durability of the block it self mesi. But several problems have been solved and the aluminum engine block somehow be able to be the future standard.
Pros: Light weight which leads to better efficiency.
Disadvantages: Can be curved at high temperatures.
